From the provided data in Cash flow statement the net operating cash flow and sales percentages
for each year are as follows:
- 2023
- Sales: Not provided directly, but can be inferred from the Net Operating Cash Flow / Sales ratio of
35.27%.
-2022
- Sales: Not provided directly, but can be inferred from the Net Operating Cash Flow / Sales ratio of
36.36%.
- 2021
- Sales: Not provided directly, but can be inferred from the Net Operating Cash Flow / Sales ratio of
39.48%.
- 2020
- Sales: Not provided directly, but can be inferred from the Net Operating Cash Flow / Sales ratio of
41.94%.
- 2019
- Sales: Not provided directly, but can be inferred from the Net Operating Cash Flow / Sales ratio of
39.95%.
To calculate the operating cash flow ratios for each year, we can rearrange the formula to find the
sales for each year:
1. 2023:
2.2022
4. 2020
- Sales = 110,014\0.4194=262,000
5. 2019
- 2019: 99,996/250,000= 0.
Analyzing the operating cash flow ratios from 2019 to 2023 reveals a trend in financial performance
over these years. Here is a summary of the findings:
1. Overall Trend: The operating cash flow ratios generally show a declining trend from 2020 through
2023. In 2019, the ratio was stable at 0.40, and the following years indicate a gradual decrease.
2. Year-on-Year Analysis:
- 2019 (0.40) to 2020 (0.42): There was a slight improvement in the ratio from 0.40 to 0.42,
suggesting that the company had a better ability to generate cash from operations relative to its
liabilities.
- 2020 (0.42) to 2021 (0.40): The ratio decreased to 0.40, indicating a decline in operating cash flow
efficiency, but it remains relatively strong.
- 2021 (0.40) to 2022 (0.36): The decline continued as the ratio fell to 0.36. This suggests that the
company’s ability to convert its revenues into cash was diminishing compared to previous years.
- 2022 (0.36) to 2023 (0.35): The trend persists with a further decrease to 0.35, implying continued
challenges in operating cash flow efficiency.
2. Profitability Ratios
Net Profit Margin = Net Income / Revenue
Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets
Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Equity
3. Efficiency Ratios
Asset Turnover = Revenue / Total Assets
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory (assuming Cost of Goods Sold is 70%
of Revenue)
4. Solvency Ratios
Debt to Equity Ratio = Debt / Equity
Interest Coverage Ratio = Operating Income / Interest Expense
